Are we really grateful?

The concept of coveting is something we’ve probably all experienced. We learn about it—in theory—in Sunday School as children. Experiencing it starts when we wonder why other kids have nicer clothes or go on fancy vacations. 

It wasn’t until after college that I really started to experience jealousy and covetousness. I’d compare my salary to what I thought my friends were making, compare the apartments we lived in and the cars we drove. 

But during this past year, all of these feelings suddenly became heightened. One of my best friends and my roommate announced that thanks to a fortunate turn of events in her finances, she would be buying her own home and moving out within a couple of months.
